I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done. (Psa 118:17 NIV) Non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera Domini (Psa 117:17 VUL) and St. Paul writes: Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. (2Co 1:9 NIV)
